I think the MoP talent system is better, simply because it actually allows you to change talents to accommodate boss fights.
That said, getting 1 talent every 15 levels is complete bullshit.

Major Mana potions cost a lot more than the supeier and greater ones.
Keep in mind that consumables were expensive. So using a greater mana potion > a major mana potion saved you a few gold when gold really mattered
>>246280985
he's right. If they make it f2p and manage to not completely ruin it with p2win I'd play again
>>246280774
I still use it.
I hope corecraft fills the void.
Deep down I know it wont, but I'm still sorta hyped.
>>246280739
It is.
Auto-learn all abilities, no ability upgrading, and class-trainers are just respec-vendors now.
Life is suffering.
>>246280580
The problem is that it never was. A lot of people don't realize that World of Warcraft came out in 2004, which was late as fuck in comparison to a lot of other things. It's the same year as fucking Half-Life 2.
There had been several MMOs already out by then that blew WoW out of the water. Planetside was past its first anniversary, Ragnarok Online was going through its third year, Runescape was the most popular browser game, Everquest had been out for half a fucking decade, and even fucking Eve Online had been released the year prior.
But WoW was made by BLIZZARD, so it didn't fucking matter that it was outdated, was three years behind in terms of graphics, had a comparatively empty amusement park world, and had some of the most basic and boring gameplay in the form of constant fetch and deliver quests. It had that Warcraft name, so it had to be good, right?
It was everyone's first MMO because it was one of the first AAA MMOs. People who were introduced to MMOs through WoW are no different from the people introduced to FPSs by Modern Warfare or RPGs by Skyrim.

WoW was the most popular because it was the best, plain & simple
Tigole & others left Everquest because of how shitty it was getting & vowed to make a better MMO, then went to work on WoW
>Vanilla WoW
Fuck man, those were the days.
>>246281027
>denying yourself an adventure
>>246281447
>Silvermoon EU
Whoah, I still play there, I'm unsubbed now but waiting for WoD.
>>246281451
I just explained how it wasn't the best.
People only liked it because
>They had never played an MMO before
>Blizzard's advertising and popularity made it easy to get in to
>It used the Warcraft name
And that's fucking it. Like I said, it had the exact effect on the genre as Modern Warfare. Was MW good? God no, but its sales were through the roof because it was babby's first FPS and since the target audience couldn't recognize a good FPS if it was presented to them, they ate that shit up.
Had even HALF of WoW's initial population played any other MMO, they would have dropped it after the trial period, no questions asked.
The original login screen music is my favorite.

Fuck off retard
The main reason wow and gaming was better was that the industry wasnt completely set on money and people werent the kind of idiots they are today
Myspace was the closest normalfags used, youtube was new to the game, 4chan was about lolis and reddit didnt exist
People/Society as a whole have changed a lot in the last 10 years and its one of the main reason games suck especially MMOs.
The thing that made or broke MMOs were the community

>>246281670
>used the Warcraft name
Not him, but I just want to point out that the name "Warcraft" didn't carry THAT much respect back before WoW.
A good few 'nerds' and 'gamers' played WC3, but the absolute majority had never touched WC2 or 1, for that matter.
I'm just saying, that Blizzard made WoW for those who liked Warcraft. It wasn't something they just slapped on for brand recognition.

Maybe for the best i doubt it will scratch my itch and only make me disappointed.
Remember when WoW used to have weather cycles?
Remember when WoW used to run like shit on everyones PC?
Remember the journey as a Night Elf to get from Darnassus to Darkshore and then taking the boat to Wetlands to make the long journey from there to Loch Modan and then finally to Iron Forge?
Remember when your first mount required you to be level 40?
Remember when you had to physically go to the Battlemaster locations to queue for a Battleground?
Remember when DKP was actually a real thing?
Those were the days.

This, WC was Blizz's least popular franchise, Diablo & SC were 10x more popular before WoW came along
In fact Blizzard wanted to make Diablo the MMO because it was the much bigger name, but Blizz North wanted to do their own thing with Diablo 3 so they made WoW the MMO instead
>>246282249
I remember getting 8-15 fps playing the game and thinking it was normal.

It was true then and it's still true now, vanilla WoW was the only real Warcraft MMO experience
>>246282330
I remember in Burning Crusade, I asked a few guild mates for loans so I can purchase my regular flying mount.
It took me like 2 years to repay them back, I never bothered to get my epic flying mount (5000 fucking gold) until Cata came out when the economy on my realm was booming.
name this place
>>246282243
They realized the server wasn't going to get significant updates so they switched somewhere else. Or are waiting for a new one.
I wish that you could use WoW experience in an actual Resume.
I remember having to read dozens of applications before recruiting new members, and all of the shit that we asked from them in order to even be considered for a spot.
>Please submit a screenshot of your keybinds
>Please list all of your WoW raiding experience

I personally played Ragnarok Online (2D korean grinding game that at the time of WoW's release boiled down to "Get a group of friends, camp a MVP spawn and grind for cards until your acolyte/mage telebitch calls a sight"), Ultima (fun, but dated), EQ (so fucking dated, raiding was dead unless you were part of a well established group and were willing to put in the time commitment), DaoC (Fun, but died ignobly), Lineage (Korean grindan gaem) and a couple others that are escaping me at the moment. In my defense, it's been a fucking decade.

Run out of quests, less people to have an epic adventure with, make a tonne of dungeon groups.
Suddenly i'm raiding for the first time and i've been playing since 06, turns out a love raiding but the vanilla raid mechanics after around 5 months finally get too boring.
Raiding in MoP atm doing heroic progression. Honestly the only thing MoP has > vanilla is the raiding. But those first 45 levels made me seriously feel like i was reliving the days

>Open it up
>Frost Shock all over the screen

>>246282126
Everything was great, but fuck DKP.
That system was designed to fuck over new raiders and influenced circlejerks between guildmates who had higher DKP than others.
>>246282562
I learned early that you had to grind a profession ASAP as soon as the next expansion comes out if you wanted to be rich.
So I powerleveled my tailoring during the start of each expansion, spending all of my gold in order to max it out.
Once I start making the high-level threads, I make my gold back in 2-3 sales, plus I end up profiting in the long run due to all of the raiding guilds that need my threads.
I probably made around 200k during Cata using this process, and I quit the game before 4.1 came out.
>>246281203
You likely know too much about BC for it to really be fun again. You've already run Karazhan a dozen times, and while that first run on Corecraft might be great, the subsequent runs will just be a bore. That feeling that the community got as a whole, of just being sick of the content, just before the next expansion will come right back.
>>246282601
>used to submit false applications to guilds and put in WoW UI images that would flash to gay porn after 3 seconds

>>246282858
Yeah, I leveled up skinning and made a damn killing from selling the leather obtained from the mobs in Cata. There used to be this one mob spot in the Maelstrom or whatever (I forgot the name of the zone), they used to spawn frequently in packs and were an easy source of gold until Blizzard patched them so you can't skin them anymore.
I purchased my epic flyer, 320% speed training, and a whole host of other things from the Skinning gold alone. Just remembering shit like this makes me want to resub, but I don't want to take another dose of heroin known as WoW.

>>246283590
On some fights it was a smart move to downrank one or two levels to maintain your manapool, especially in longer fights or fights with a specific mechanic (Viscidus).
Healers were the ones who really downranked hardcore though, especially since throughput didn't increase linearly with mana costs. It was more efficient to have three ranks of Renew, and two of Heal on your bars, instead of spamming max rank Renew and Heal.

What's a good and populated Burning Crusade private server these days?
RIP warcraft
>>246283776
Hey, if I'm recruiting other warlocks, then I have to make sure that they're as good a player as I am, otherwise it looks bad on my part.
>>246283776
I probably play less than most casual people. That is because we hold ourselves to higher standards and want to be efficient. That's fucked if you recruit just anyone.
>>246282802
>>246282601
What >>246282949 said, you coming along to our heroic prog guild? Then you better fucking know your shit.

So lonely.
Was fun playing on <the vidya> while I could. I want to join again whenever corecraft starts up but I'll have no time with working everyday

>>246283683
Is it even possible to pull aggro anymore?
>>246283942
Hellgrounds, just have to deal with polish people
I hate it how in wotlk you had to really try to run out of mana as a healer
Shit was ridiculous
>Not the best event
>Purposefully failing the Undercity WoW Lore quest so your raid group could attack your own Faction Leaders.
I believe we were the first guild to ever kill all of their own faction leaders. Butthurt Thrall lovers were crying so hard in General chat and no one could do anything about it.
>>246284028
Given that we only need to be in the same faction in WoD, why don't we all raid together again?
All that's left is... What faction?
>>246284072
It's difficult, and if you do, it's probably the fault of the Tank.
Threat generation is such a fucking joke, especially with Vengeance.
remember when Blizzard still used to make good manuals full of interesting information? D2, WoW, WC3
fuck man. now i open the box and theres like 1 page that says "put the disk in you idiot"
this depresses me more than anything
>>246284072
As someone who plays MoP: not really.
A tank in blues does more threat than a DPS in BiS gear
>>246283683
Well Taunt functioned differently then too if I remember.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Taunt in Vanilla just cause a certain amount of threat, like sunder or other abilities. So the mob could get pulled off and the tank could taunt all god damn day to no avail.
So what happened to the Rebirth private server guild?
>>246284072
Trash/LFR, yes. Single target boss? Not a fucking chance.
>>246284041
Could happen.
It never has happened, but it could.
Although, when I was playing, there were only two other warlocks that were better than me. One was in the top raiding guild, and one ended up switching to a druid as his main.
>>246283253
>Most people left and are going to Rebirth after the feenix staff fucked the server.
I really, really wish more people played on Rebirth. It's kinda what kills private 1x servers - lack of population to do anything.
>>246283927
>beat the shit out of the enemy warlock
>they are amazed because he was supposedly untouchable
Whut warlocks with t2-t3 got soloed by rogue without gear. Prolly the worst class with druid in vanilla.
>>246284137
I meant <the vidya> on the feenix server Emerald Dream
>>246282949
>we're trying to be the best in the realm
From what I saw from my raiding career from patch 1.4 to 3.2, the guilds which really were 'the best in the realm' would operate purely on inside or esteemed recommendations. The ones which required lengthy ass posts on their guildlaunch or filling out surveys were the guilds that were perpetual MC into AQ20 guilds that would just feed higher attuned players to better guilds, then later perpetual Kara+ZA attempt guilds that would do the same.
I know this because I tried to run one when ZA came out, and killed it 4 months later when I realized we'd never reach 3 chest because geared players went up and I was on a perpetual recruiting bender.
>mfw getting the shakes and urge to go back to WoW
I think race model update will be the breaking the point, if only for 15 day returnee trial.
>>246284151
You know what I remember?
Cracking open the fucking MASSIVE book included in Diablo, with all the Samwise artwork splashed throughout it.
I also just realized one of my first masturbatory experiences was over his Rogue concept piece.
>>246284340
It's going to be shit
The models are literally 15-20 hours of work(at max) each and it takes them a whole year to release them all.
Can remember our server suffering from serious lag issues so we couldn't do onyxia. We all decided to raid Ironforge instead, we couldn't get out of the tram station though because the alliance knew well in advance we were coming and just camped us outside the entrance.
>>246284191
it would bring you up the threat level of the highest guy. but if they kept going, they would pull threat very quickly
it could also miss. 5% or something like that
Remember when classes had unique abilities
>>246280298
I solo'd that quest at 18. I was so proud, I enchanted it and kept it in my bank as a momento. I started wow in 2005 and quit in early '10 shortly after beating the Lich King.

You're paying money to engage in menial labor at that point. That's insane.
You know, in other activities outside of MMORPGs, the people who graduate from amateur to professional are actually paid.
That doesn't happen here, why do it?
why did Blizz take the fun out? Fucking hell it reminds me of Australia
>all mobs including world bosses are leashed and can't be kited

Nowadays you would probably replace it 15 minutes later because gear and experience and give to you at every step.

Theirs even more I could go into anons but im sure your not interested. I was very very bitter in those days. Im glad im like that no longer.

He had his own pocket rogue. That's why he was considered untouchable at the time. I had the fortune of dotting him up repeatedly from the roof of his base while he was on D.
>>246281153
I'd want to say that I'd try it if it went free to play.
But if I couldn't get through the free 20 levels, how could I ever reach the end game of 90 or whatever it currently is.

because they obviously don't have anything near the capacity of official servers
>>246284652
I'd feel sorry for you but with grammar like that I can't help but feel like you probably brought this on yourself. I wouldn't want to keep a guy around either if he couldn't tell the difference between "their" and "there".

i'm interested, post more

Fuck off feeshill

Really?
Because I could log in to it no problem like 10 mins ago and last night
>>246284765
I miss 40 mans, if only because it created a sense of community within the larger whole of the raid group.
You knew who your team was, and by fucking god, you had either a role or class officer and you own chat channel you used during raids, so you didn't fill up /ra.
>you will never talk shit about the tanks with the other six healers in your /join guildnamehealers, and never talk shit about the decurse team in /join guildnamedispel
Or was my guild the only one anal retentive enough to do that?
>>246282126
>Remember when your first mount required you to be level 40?
And it was 90G or something? There was no way you would have actually acquired enough to pay for training and mount the moment you reached lvl 40. Well, not unless you played the AH with Swiftthistle and were drowning in money by lvl 25.

I've always been under the impression that people played video games because it's an effortless distraction. I know I do.
But paying for the 'privilege' of optimizing spreadsheets and reading résumés for something ultimately transient and completely useless in reality just seems a little bit mental.
>>246285339
People play video games because they enjoy it, just like any hobby
